For those who’ve followed Randeep’s career, this isn’t surprising. The actor has a reputation for completely transforming himself for his characters. Remember his jaw-dropping transformation for ‘Swatantrya Veer Savarkar’? Randeep dropped a staggering 18 kilos in just 28 days to accurately portray him.
Talking about that intense process, Randeep once revealed that the original plan was to shoot the Punjab portions of the film first, which would involve heavy wrestling scenes. But in a last-minute twist, the shooting schedule changed.
“They suddenly wanted to film the jail scenes instead. I told them a man who has been in jail cannot look so fit and healthy. It wouldn’t feel real,” he said.
Determined to stay true to the character, Randeep quickly cut down his food and water intake, pushing his body to the edge. “I had to fast. I stayed underweight for almost one and a half years during the shoot,” he shared.
